ALECTRYON EXCELSA - Titoki

This is one of the most widely used NZ natives. Mature leaves are a clean and crisp mid-green whilst new growth is a paler green with rusty tones which makes Titoki a fresh looking semi-tropical/Pacifica tree. Titoki form into an attractive round-headed tree that can be left to grow to form or trimmed to suit the application.

Applications

Specimen tree
Street and park tree
Clipped screen
Pleached hedge

Beyond the norm

This is a tree that trims very well. Titoki can be trimmed as a single specimen to a desired height or they also trim very well as a clipped or pleached hedge. Ideally plant Titoki at 1 to 2m centres depending on the ultimate height the hedge will be trimmed to. The planted centres need to be similar to the trimmed width.
